Neptune, N.J.

Sullens’ presentation will explore the convergence between field service and the last mile of transportation and logistics industries, and how rising demands driven by the ‘Amazon Effect’ have raised the bar in transportation and logistics and field services. He’ll also speak to how cloud and mobile technologies have revolutionized the ability to proactively manage many long-standing traditional delivery challenges.

“An ever-evolving supply chain and logistics industry requires constant innovation to facilitate and nurture its upward growth,” said Sullens. “The opportunity to join many of the leading minds in the field to discuss how we can make better use of technology to prepare for this future is an event Marathon is proud to be part of.”
